Chapter 115 Leave of Absence
Alex had already calmed down when he pulled up at the traffic lights.
He opened the car window and had just lit a cigarette when his phone rang.
Alex didn’t answer right away. He took a drag on his cigarette before taking out his phone to see who was calling.
“Mr. Jefferson, something’s cropped up at home. I need to go back and take a look!” Jessica’s anxious voice was heard as soon as the call connected.
“What happened?”
Jessica hesitated for a moment before replying, “My house is haunted… My mom has been possessed by a ghost…”
“Haunted?” Alex sounded surprised.
Are there really ghosts in this world?
“Yes. It’s not the first time my house has been haunted. It was only after a priest had done a ritual that it became better,” Jessica answered.
“Okay, I’m reaching the office in a minute. Come out, I’ll go with you,” Alex said.
The theory of ghosts, demons and evil spirits had a certain relationship with the art of geomancy.
Although he had never encountered ghosts or other demonic beings, he was skilled in geomancy and should be able to figure out what was going on.
The ancient book, Nine Heaven Scrolls, was too comprehensive.
It covered and contained everything, from martial arts practice to alchemy, to geomancy, and so on. It was simply all–encompassing and all–embracing.
He had been busy studying during this period of time. Although he had yet to apply his geomancy skills, he believed that he could make a name for himself if a ghost were really found in Jessica’s house.
Jessica agreed, thinking Alex wanted to follow because he was afraid of her telling lies.
She thought she could use the extra brain to figure out the situation as well.
Jessica was already waiting at the entrance in her A6 when Alex arrived. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Alex had her lead the way, and he followed after her.
Jessica’s home in as a two–story rural housing building with a courtyard of over two hundred square feet.
When the two arrived, the courtyard was being surrounded by villagers. Some villagers had even got on their knees and were praying at the side.
Upon seeing Jessica return, a middle–aged woman stepped forward and said, “You’re finally back, Jessica. Your mother has been possessed by that thing again. Hurry up and ask the master of the Desecrated Court to come and do something about her.”
“How’s my mom, Aunt Wendy?” Jessica asked worriedly.
“No one dares to go in and take a look. You know, it’s bad luck to go in at this time…” Wendy trailed off.
“Why don’t I go in with you first?” Alex suggested.
Although he had never encountered such a thing, he thought it shouldn’t be too difficult to solve.
“Forget it. Let’s just ask Mr. Miller of the Desecrated Court,” Jessica suggested.
Seeing that Jessica was disbelieving, Alex didn’t insist on it. He nodded and said, “I’ll take you there. My car is faster.”
His R8 was a sports car. Its performance, power, and so on were far beyond that of an A6.
“Thank you.” Jessica nodded. She didn’t dare to delay any longer because she knew her mother would be in more danger the longer she procrastinated.
The Desecrated Court was located on Desecrated Mountain, twelve kilometers away from the city. Since it wasn’t during peak hours, there was less traffic on the road, which allowed them to arrive at the Desecrated Court in no time.
More than a dozen priests were living in the Desecrated Court. Mr. Baron Miller was the master of the court, and he was the person who maintained the normal operation of the court through exorcism.
Many believers would visit the court to request a reading of their dream.
Under the guidance of a young disciple, Alex and Jessica soon found Baron.
“Mr. Miller, my mom has been possessed by that thing again. I would really appreciate it if it down and save my mother,” Jessica said piously upon seeing Baron.
